Google is the best thing since free beer that dosen't leave a hangover being served by at the playboy mansion. Really, its that good. They take every good idea that has been crappily executed (mapquest/maps.google.com, hotmail/gmail.com, froogle.com/shopping.com and now msn/gmail home page.)
it shows the right file when i click on it, i dont care...
untill one day the thing dies, and i lose everything.
then, i take it outside and set it on fire.
Who's fSync()ing now!!!!
Also, you might want to get youself ssomone who can progran a EPROM board, that way, they can build and implement the network. It should work, and probably wouldn't cost more than a couple of grand in parts (including the computer that runs it all). You dont need to use any sort of bluetooth or anything for the RF stuff. Just get a transmitter that can send out a mildly strong signal at a frequency high enough to satisfy your time resolution needs. DigiKey should have all the parts you need
Make yourself a grid of RF receivers on the ceiling of your wearhouse and stick an RF broadcaster on the forklift.
Have the RF broadcaster send of a 'ping' at a given frequency (your 'realtime resolution')
Since All the rf recievers know what time the 'ping' should have been sent, they can calculate how far away the forklift is from them by differencing the time they recieved it to the time that they got it.
Use three or more beacons (networked) and you have yourself a triangulation network.
Im pretty sure this is how GPS works, except your recieves wouldn't be in space.
I think we should ship all of you guys to mars and watch you live in 'harmony'.
then, after you guys have all died off because you were afraid to 'taint' the 'virgin' atmosphere and didn't grow crops of any sort or raise livestock or build yourselves any sort of shelter...
we set your dead asses on fire and thicken up the atmosphere so we can make that pile of rocks hospitable for the part mankind that will survive
1. The cameras arent new. Right now, the cameras on the tank are ATM cameras. They couldn't get the new cameras approved for manned space flight in time. These will be installed on future tanks (not the next one delivered, but probably the one after that)
2. Since the tank is actually a super thin aluminum shell with two more super thin aluminum shells inside of it (liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen at something like -600 F) it needs insulation.
the foam was made to be more sticky and less prone to falling off.
The bipod (where the shuttle's nose connects to the tank) was espically prone to foam falling off of it and hitting the shuttle. So, what they did was put heaters in the base of the bipod to prevent the -600f tank about 2 inches away from freezing the thing solid.
The heaters only run untill just before liftoff, when the umbilical is detached and the shuttle launches.
Those are the two main things (the foam and the heaters) that the review commission required before they could fly again. Everything else is just extra.
Also, the shuttle is the mack truck of the space program. It can only go into Low Earth Orbit, not even into outer space. We need a better system.

Mr Eastman and Mr Kodak would have been proud
Crap, now when i go to the big computer programmer prom no one will dance with me.
i like java because i can make applications on my computer that my boss ( who only uses a Mac ) can run on his. This is good. Also, its easy.

I got to pick out a computer for work and i chose a Dell Inspiron 9100. This thing's battery life is a joke. At most, i will get about 1.5hrs. Also, the cable and ac-dc converter is the size of a brick. We have a Dell with intel's low voltage processer (the name escapes me) and those get like 3 hours max. We have 2 Apple notebooks, and those get like 2 hours, but.. they have MUCH sexier ac-dc adapters.
i use the laptop more like a desktop anyway, i mean, im not going to sit somplace and use crappy internet and overpay for coffee when i have great internet and free coffee at my house
Plus my laptop's battery has a built in subwoofer!
That's useful, right?? right??
inflatable speakers they have in sharper image. Bought them, blew them up, and made what can be described as headphones. The sound was insane, as were the looks on people's faces who saw me that day in the mall.
So on download.com's main page today, they had a link to an article that described how to 'rip an mp3 radio' stream to your computer. They even provide a list of programs that you can do this with. Is that legal, if not, is the RIAA going to sue download dot com? or do they only target the elderly and adolecent? I mean, why fight somone your own size, when you can squash ant's with your fingers.

Untill they start chaging an op-ed tax..
Just wait untill they start to sue other paper's subscribers at random for 'sharing' news stories at the office water cooler..

Does this mean that by getting to many of those crappy annoying e-cards your computer will go blind?

that lat/long is outdated. UTM is a much more common standard. Its also a lot more useful
wrong.
it's all about perspective.
In most places good sewerage is a luxury.
In a lot of places, public illumination is a luxury.
It's going to happen sooner than later. Unless the people who make money off of it now pay the government to keep ther service (lobbying/bribes)

Ok, -3hunderedsomething. Its COLD is my point.

How about a worm that spreads copies of the source code around the internet. call it the 'my source' virus.
